order, easy to manipulate, efficient, reliable, f

and otherwise well adapted to the purpose for whichv it is designed.

With the above and numerous other ob jects in viewas will appear as the descrip- .tion proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel'features oi' construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a top plan View of the harrowA embodying the features of our invention, Figure 2 is a side elevation thereof, Figure 3 isa fragmentary longitudinal section therethrough,

Figure 4 is a detail stantially on the line bei of Figure 3,

Figure `5 is a detail elevation showing the connection between the supporting bar, and one of the gang bars, and

Figure 6 isa perspective view of the bracket used with this barrow.

VReferring to the drawing in detail it will be seen that 5 designates a draw bar which is provided with an engaging structure 6 at `its forward end in order that the bar may be attached in the usual manner to a tractor, or any other draft means or device. A cross beam 7 is attached intermediate its ends as at 8 to an intermediate portion of the draftbarl 5. Braces 9 extend between the forward portion of the draft bar 5, and the ends of the cross beam 7. A second cross beam 10 is attached to the rear end of the draw bar 5 as at 11, and extends parallel to t-he cross beam 7. Longitudinally extending bars 12 have their forward ends connected to the beam 7, and their intermediate portions attached to the ends of the beam 10. These bars 12 extend in `parallel spaced relation to each other, one on each side of the drawbar 5 and parallel thereto. A supporting bar 13 is mounted to extend transversely of the section taken sub the above description.

rear portion ot" the harrow below the rear ends of the bars 12. A pair 'ot' cranks 14 are iixed to the supporting bary lfadjacent its ends as at 15, one to t-he-outerside oi:l each bar 12. A pair oi brackets 16 are mounted on the beam Each bracket A16 includes an inverted U-shaped portion 17, the Sides oi' Awhich are provided with registering openings 18 't'or receiving pins 19.` The cranks 14 extend between the sides ot the Ushaped portions 17l ofthe brackets 16 and rest on the pins 19. By adjusting the cranks 1l` in relation to the brackets 16 it will be seen that the supporting bar 13 may be rotated. Brackets 2O are iied to the supporting bar 13 and mount depending hooks 21 which are engaged with members 22 on gang bars 23. On each'gang bar there is mounted a gang' of barrow blades 241- ot conventional colistruction. Links 25 are pivotallyy engaged with the ends of lthe gang bars 23 and with the cross beam 7.

thetraction means in the position shown to advantage in Figure 2 and thus the longitudinal bars 12 rest on the supporting bars 13 which may be turned tor regulating the angles oit the blades 24 to the ground by the operation of the cranks 111, as indicated above. g

From the above detailed description it will be seen that we have provided a very sturdv harrow which may be used to advantage with a tractor andwhich may be easily adjusted as desired. The hai-row is compact In actual use the device is supported on the harrow'blades 24 and bv in its arrangement of parts, and will prove etiicient andreliable in operation.

It is thought that the construction, operation, utility, and advantages ci' the invention will now be clearly understood without a more detailed description. T he present embodiment ot the invent-ion has been disclosed merely by way otl example, and attains all the features ot' advantage enumerated inthe statement of the invention, and 1t is apparent that numerous changes inthe details of construe tion, and in the combination and arrange ment ot parts maybe resorted to without -departmg trom the spirit or Scope ot the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacriiicing any of its advantages.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim as new is 1. In a harrow, a draw bar, a beam extending transversely ot the intermediatey port-ion of the draw bar, a second beam eX- tending transversely ot' the rear end of the draw bar, a pair ot longitudinal members fixed at their intermediate portions to the ends of the second beam and at their torward ends of the first mentioned beam, a. supporting bar disposed below the longitudinal members at their rear ends, cranks lixed to the supportingbar, means tor holding the cranks in different adjusted posi tions, and harrow blades mounted on the supporting bar.

2. ln a harrow, a draw bar, a beam extending transversely of the intermediate portion ot the draw bar, a second beam extending transversely of the rear end ot the draw bar, a pair oit longitudinal .members tired at their intermediate portions to the ends oi the second beam and at their forward ends to the lirst mentioned beam, a supporting bar disposed below the longitudinal members at their rear ends, cranks lined to the supporting' bar, means for holding the cranks in different adjusted positions, gangl bars suspended from the supporting bar, and harrow blades on the gang' bars.

3. In a barrow, a draw bar, a beam e2;- tending transversely oit the intermediate portion ot' the draw bar, a second beam extending transversely or" the rear end of the draw bar, a pair ot longitudinal members fixed at their intermediate portions to the ends of the second beam and at their forward ends to the .tirst mentioned beam, a supporting bar disposed below the longitudinal members at their rear ends, cranks lixed to the supporting bar, means for holding the cranks in diii'erent adjusted positions, gang bars suspended from the supporting bar, and harrow blades on the gang bars, and links pivotally engaged with the gang bars and with the first mentioned beam.

4. ln a. harrow, a iframe, a pair of mem bers extending longitudinally of the trame and beyond the rear thereof, a supportingbar engaging the unoer surtace ot the rear end ot the members, cranks -for turning the supporting` bar, means for holding the cranks in diii'erent adjusted positions, gang bars suspended from the supporting bar, and harrow blades on the gang bars.

5. In a barrow, a frame, a pair ot members extending` longgitadinall)7 of the trame and beyond the rear thereof, a supporting bar engaging the under surface of the rear end oi trie member, cranks for turning the supporting bar, means for holding the cranks in different adjusted positions, gang bars suspended 'from the support-ing bar, barrow blades on the gang bars, and links connected with the bars and with the frame.
